Hadon of Ancient Opar (Volume 1)

By Philip José Farmer

(Philip José Farmer’s Khokarsa)

The young hero Hadon journeys from the golden city of Opar to the heart of the ancient African empire of Khokarsa, battling in the Great Games for the chance to win the king’s crown. But just as Hadon stands upon the precipice of victory, the tyrannical King Minruth threatens to usurp the throne and overturn the beneficent, centuries-old rule of the priestesses of Kho. Now, if he is to be king, Hadon must set out upon a hero’s quest unlike any other—to hunt down a living god and return with his bounty.
